You're not needing to call it,  but to use it. The simplest answer is just to print the prompt separately,  and just call input  ().

Next option is to build a string in another variable,  like prompt= and then do input (prompt)

But there's no reason you can't just pass a single string expression directly to input.  Something like

X = input (name + ", what's your favorite food? ")

Now input gets exactly one argument.
